Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciation of this word with the "b" sound. This is incorrect. The ב (bet) does not have a daghesh lene so it is pronounced with a "v" sound. This is why the transliteration has a bar under the "b" (ḇ).
Strong's Number H3820 matches the Hebrew לֵב (lēḇ),
which occurs 596 times in 552 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
